A $12.8 million Arizona Lottery jackpot has turned into a legal battle involving a convenience store manager, his employer, and questions about ownership and chain of custody.
The unusual dispute centers on Robert Gawlitza, a manager at a Circle K in Scottsdale, Arizona, who purchased a discarded lottery ticket that later was determined to be a massive winner, and now the company that employs him has asked a court to decide who is entitled to the prize.
